The loft features a stylish kitchenette, breakfast nook, and a pleasant work-space with a prime street view.

The Space:
Enjoy the freedom of this open-concept loft, allowing easy transitions from space to space. The retro decor perfectly complements the vibe of the Duke campus area. Enjoy a cup of coffee with a view from breakfast nook, or take in a movie in the cozy living room as you rest your feet after a day of exploring downtown Durham. Games are also provided for your enjoyment.

The bedroom area features a queen-sized daybed, that also has a pull-out trundle should you want extra sleeping space. Catch up on emails from the dedicated desk space which also offers a lovely view of the tree-lined street outside.

The living room couch is a futon that can be set up for a separate sleeping space for two. A pillow-top cushion is provided for extra comfort.

Once through your private entrance, guests will then ascend one flight of stairs to a welcoming landing, complete with a bench to kick off your shoes and get comfortable. The loft is the entire second-floor unit.

The Neighborhood:
Peaceful, tree-lined street just north of the iconic Duke University Campus. Walking distance to countless local eateries, coffee shops, supermarkets and more.

Our Durham stay

This was a great location and a comfortable stay. It is a very walkable neighborhood. It would have been good to know the letter on the address and that was the only communication I would have improved the initial check in process.

Weekend Away

We came into town for a wedding, and this was the perfect place to stay! We were always less than 10 minutes away from everywhere we needed to be! The property was nice and comfortable! We had a busy weekend, and it was a nice place to wind down. I wish we stayed longer to explore more of the area!

College visits

We were coming from out of state to visit Duke and UNC. This was a perfect location, close to everything and lots of restaurants within walking distance. The open concept and close quarters may have gotten to be too close for our family of 4 if we stayed longer, but super cute and unique for our 3 day stay! Highly recommend!!!!

Cute and Great Location

It’s a lovely condo in a lovely neighborhood. Plus I was able to walk to town through Duke’s east campus, a real pleasure. The condo was spotless and the host was very accessible and patient with my questions.
